    Help me understand how to properly ground my system (diy skoolie)...

    I'm having the hardest time understanding how to properly ground my system. I have a school bus conversion with a full off-grid system. Below is my system: Renogy 550w Panels (4) Eg4 48v 100ah batteries (2) Victron Charge Controller Victron Lynx Shunt Victron Lynx Distributor Victron...

    Firmware on the new EG4 LL V2 batteries

    Any luck? I can't seem to get my cerbo read my batteries either

    EG4 LL BMS to Victron Cerbo

    Ah I did see this. I have the LL V2, curious if the same problem is occuring with these?

    EG4 LL BMS to Victron Cerbo

    Thanks I'll give this a try. Just curious, what makes you think they won't be in business much longer?

    EG4 LL BMS to Victron Cerbo

    Did you end up making your own cable? or buying the one from Signature Solar? I'd love to make my own but not sure which wires need to go where on the Cerbo side.

    EG4 LL BMS to Victron Cerbo

    Any chance you can make a video of this? I swear I've tried every option I could think of and can't get the screen to appear

    Looking for some feedback on my wiring diagram (48v system)

    I actually have a Cerbo, but didn't add it here since it's just communication wires. I also just track voltage instead of percentage, but the batteries do have a screen on them that show the percentage. I think these are the main components I care about at this point, I may add others in the...

    Looking for some feedback on my wiring diagram (48v system)

    I'm currently building a system for my skoolie build (school bus tiny home) and I'm looking for a second eye on my wiring diagram. I'm doing a 48v system with Victron Components, (2) EG4 server rack batteries paired 2200 watts of panels via 2 strings. My charge controller is overkill (by a good...

    Debating all-in-one vs charge controller+multiplus...

    We boondock 99% of the time (full timers), so the efficiency is what is most important for us.

    Debating all-in-one vs charge controller+multiplus...

    I'm building out my second rv system and I'm planning to with two (2) 48v solar rack batteries paired with 2200w of panels (Renogy 550w). Originally I was going to do a separate Victron charge controller paired with the Multiplus II. However, now I am wondering if an all-in-one (EG4) is a better...

    Need help with wiring distribution panel (bonded vs non bonded)

    I'm starting run my wiring for my setup in a skoolie (school bus tiny home). After doing some research I'm now completely confused on how I should wire my distribution panel, and whether or not I need to bond neutral with ground or wire them on separate bus bars. Below is my system for better...

    Any third-party software available for MPP solar systems?

    @NCblueridge Nope, nothing. That's where I'm lost. In your case, you could always use bootcamp, OR find a super cheap Windows laptop or tablet to run it through that. I have a battery meter I look at to see where my batteries at because that's all I really need once my settings are placed.

    Float charging LifePo4

    @erik.calco Good to know. This is a similar setting I had, but BB told me I should be reaching 28.8 to top balance. My batteries are in parallel though so I don't think I should have to worry about balancing as they were balanced when I installed them and over time they should balance anyhow...

    Random clicking coming from MPP Solar 24V system. Is this normal?

    @snoobler this happens both on gird power and solar

    Any third-party software available for MPP solar systems?

    @NCblueridge The app "runs" but doesn't connect to USB for whatever reason to show me any data. On windows it's fine so I know the cable works. I've tried different ports on my mac as well. I have not reached out, not entirely sure who to reach out to honestly.
